Nvidia targets Intel and AMD with new 'Vera' server CPU, projects $20B revenue
Question
Nvidia targets Intel and AMD with new 'Vera' server CPU, projects $20B revenue
Direct answer
A powerful new entrant into a duopolistic market threatens the incumbents' market share and pricing power, potentially leading to a long-term margin compression and valuation de-rating. — bullish pressure on NVDA via expansion into a large new addressable market, creating a new revenue growth vector.
